These are the words I didn't know were healing me as I wrote them. From a 12 year old carrying the weight of the world to a 34 year old becoming herself, healing the inner child is a collection of poetry spanning decades of self discovery, heartbreak, and resilience. From foster care to grief, love lost, and ascension to gratitude, these poems trace a soul learning to bloom in unlikely soil. Now, at 34, Dr. Angela Campbell returns to these pages not to rewrite them, but to honor them and the child within who first gave them voice. This collection is for the child you once were, the adult you've become, and the bridge between them. An invitation to honor your inner child, to listen, and to love them home.
